Effects of the Tariff On Farmers.

Baltimore American.
OF course, it is not necessary to go
to Massachusetts for anything new
upon this subject. The effect which
the home market has upon products
of the soil wherever manufactures
have been encouraged in that State,
is we'll known to all. and the wealth
which has grown up in the State
enables its capitalists now to extend
fostering hand to almost every
State in the Union, and even our
own is just now about receiving from
Boston men hundreds of thousands
of dollars in the purchase OF land
and the establishment of new objects
of manufacture, A correspondent of
the NelO England Farmer, having
had his attention called to this SUBJ
jeet, says:
81 have read with much interest
the ideas of your correspondents
upon the subjects of protection and
competition with the West. 1t does
not seem possible for any one, who
owns and works = farm in the East
ern States, and raises anything to
sell, not to see the great benefits of a
home market, and that market, is
made by our manufactures, built up
by protection on both sides evidently
agree. Demolish one, demoish all.
No matter how hard the times are,
there is no lack of money in this
great country of factories such as
exist in thosestates exclusively given
to agriculture and principally to rails
ing OF cereals. The aggregate of
wages paid out weekly by our man
ufacturing industries is simply enor-
nous. 1t enables the farmer to deal
directly with the consumer, much to
the benefit Of both. According to
statistics, reduce the tariff, you reduce
the cost of goods, but at the expense
Of labor, as wages suffer more in this

A Very Bashful Husband.

The following little anecdote is told
about very baShful man in Indiana.
The unfortunate's friends knew that
he wanted to be married they knew
that he meyer would be if he waited
until he found courage to pop the
question SO they took all the trouble
off his hands. and by series of rapid
strategic moves had him popped,
accepted and Wived before he could
find a pretext for writing" So much
accomplished, and the nuptial even
ing having passed off merrily, the
young mans back honers withdrew at
an early hour, feeling that they could
spare themselves further effort in
their friends behalf. About five
minutes after, young Benedict, who
had evidently been having a serious
debate with himself, rose and took
his hat, and with a nervous GOOD
night" made his exit.
He was not seen again by his bride
or his family until the following
evening, when he timidly knocked
at the door and was admitted. No
special comment being made on his
singular conduct, he passed an hour
rather comfortably in the parlors,
and everything seemed to promise
favorably for cure of his besetting
weakness, when hearing the house
hold monitor proclaim the hour of
nine. he suddenly seemed to remem-
Der he had forgotten something and
started for his hat.
This was the moment and the
event that had been somwhat ex-
pectantly awaited with indignation
most profound but under control by
the brides mother. Planting herself
resolutely in the doorway, the old
lady demanded to know why and
wherefore, what he proposed to do,
and whether he was man, or only
a feeble. imitation, &c; in short. why
he did not remain with his wife, in
stead of sinking back to his old
quarters? The bashful son-in-law
stammered out, as the elderly female
seized his hat and backed him into
the chair again. "Well. l should
like to. but thought maybe I'd bet
ter wait while, for fear it might
make talk among the neighbors !"

The Typical American--LincOln

At the New England dinner in
New York Henry w. Grady, the
brilliant editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitatiQn. referred to Abraham Lin
coin as the first typical American;

eloquence of your speakers-the fact
that the Cavalier as well as the Puri-

days, and that he was sup and able

your books carefully and L find no
mention of that fact, which seems to
me important for preserving a sort
of historical equilibrium.
With the Cavalier once established
as a fact in your charming little
books shall let him work out his
own stratum, as he has always done
with engaging gallantry, and we
will hold no controversy as to his
merits. Why should we? Neither
Puritan or Cavalier long survived as
such. The virtues and traditions of
both happily still live for the inspir-
alton of their sons and the saving OF
the old fashioned. Applause. But
both Puritan and Cavalier were lost
in the storm of their first revolution,
and the American citizen, supplant-
ing both and stronger than either,
took possession of the republic

fashioned to wisdom, and charged
himself with teaching men govern
ment and establishing the voice of
the people as the voice of God. APP

less, but for less price. What affects
the whole country affects each indi-

A Monkeys Trick.

A cook once owned a monkey, a
pert fellow, who knew ever so many
tricks. One day the cook gave him
two partridges to pluck, and, seating
himself at the open window, he went
to work. He had picked the feathers
from one of the partridges, and plac-
ed it on the outer ledge of the VIM
dow with a satisfied grunt, when a
hawk suddenly pounced down from
one of the trees near by, and U0fyUf'
the plucked bird. Master monkey
was angry, and shook his fist at the
hawk, which perched on limb not
far off, and began to eat the bird with
great relish. The mOkey plucked the
other partridge, laid it in the same
place, and hid behind the window
screen. The hawk few down after
it, when the monkey quickly caught
the thief. In moment he rung the
hawks head off, and soon had it
plucked. Taking the two birds to
the cook, the monkey handed them
to him, as if to say: "Here are your
two partridges." The cook thought
the birds looked queer. but served
them on the table. The owner of the
house shook his head when he saw
the dish, and, telling the cook of the
trick, laughed heartily.

Counting the Cost.

There are many ways of entering
upon certain courses of action. One
is to be led by ones friends. An
other Is to follow ones impulses
Another is deliberately to count the
cost and then determine just what to
do. All three methods are good in
their way and for certain ends neces-
sary. The first is perhaps most COM
mon. Parents have pretty definite
views of what they would like their
children to do and to be and endeavor
to lead them in certain paths, and
most children are willing to be led.
The majority of men and women are
like sheep. They follow their leader.
If ones goes over the precipice, all
the rest follow. If one "strong"
man invests largely in certain stocks
all his "set" follow suit. If the chief
woman in a little town calls on the
new conner, every body calls on her,
that is. most every body.
Those who follow their impulses
sometimes accomplish what they
wish and oftener do not. A good
deal is pardoned to good intentions.
A good impulse acted upon at the
wrong time may get one into as GER
tain trouble as though the impulse
had been bad. Enterprises founded
on impulse are like houses built upon
the sand. Sand is all very well to
fill in and grade with, but it does not
make firm foundation. When the
winds blow and the floods come. the
house falls. There are great many
people who upon impulse and with
out adequate preparation begin some
undertaking they are only partly
able to carry out, and when they be-
gin to founder and go under, implore
this friend and that one to hasten to
their rescue and save them from per-
ishing. How many men have lost
everything by indorsing for their
friends in the vain endeavor to save
them. Impulses have their use, but
they cannot be trusted with the reins
of government any more than Phae-
thon could with the chariot of the
sun. Impulses must be restrained
and guided by principle, or they will
perpetualIy get one into trouble.
Parents can do much to regulate and
direct the impulses of their children
by steadfastly pointing out to them
the results of obedience to impulse
rather than to definite and we'll un-
derstood principles of action. 1t takes
a great deal more than good impulses
to insure lasting success. Principle
prepares the ground so that seed soWn
BY impulse or otherwise are not
cAoked by the thorns springing up.
Those who sit down and count the
probable cost of new enterprise, and
then deliberately enter into it, are
most likely to accomplish what they
undertake. If it is only the making
of a garment, one must have pat
tern, needles, thread, ETC., or the
work can not be done. If it is the
making of cake, there must be
sugar and butter and eggs and spice
and fire to bake with. But there are
multitudes of people who habitually
trust to borrowing from some friend
one or two or more of the very essen
tials required in doing the work they
undertake. 1t is no charity, it is an
injury to the persons thus borrowing
to lend to them. They should be
compelled to learn the value of COM
modities by providing them not by
going without them. Indulgence
only confirms an evil habit.-N. Y.

Revenge is debt, III the paying of
which the greatest knave is honest
and sincere, and, so far as he is able,
punctual.
OF all the riches that we hug. of all
the pleasures we enjoy, we can carry
no more out of this world than out of
a dream.
Vicious habits are so odious and
degrading that they transform the
individual who practices them into
an incarnate demon.
